Copy-Editing and Proofreading Services Brighton and Hove

August Editorial is the business name of Jenny Prince-Chrisley, a professional editor, proofreader and copywriter. I'm located in Brighton and Hove, but I write and edit for clients across the whole of the UK. I have many years' experience writing and editing for print, businesses, and academia. I'm also well-versed in both UK and US styles. For more about my qualifications, click here.

I offer several levels of editing to suit your needs, from inexpensive proofreading, to rigorous organizational restructuring, to handling the minutiae of sense and style. 

No job is too small – whatever your requirements and your budget, I can tailor my services to you. 

Getting published isn't easy, but there's a lot a good editor can do to get your manuscript in the best possible shape. If you're pursuing self-publishing or want to prepare your manuscript as an eBook, good editing is even more important as there are no final checks before your book is ready for sale.

I offer editing that's tailored to suit your needs – from simple proofreading to thorough line editing to detailed stylistic comments addressing plot, character development and narrative arc. Whether you need your novel copyedited, your short stories proofread, or your new non-fiction work checked for tone and clarity, I'm here for you.

For more information about the different levels of editing that I offer, including an explanation of the differences between proofreading, copy-editing, and developmental editing, see our Book Editing page. 

After spending so much of your valuable time researching, writing, and perfecting your thesis, it's well worth having a professional comb through it for any mistakes.

I have years of experience editing and formatting dissertations for Masters and doctoral students. It doesn't matter whether you need a quick proofreading or a thorough editing and formatting package – my services can be customized to meet your needs.

So many editing companies are faceless, impersonal businesses that charge exorbitant sums and then fail to deliver your project on time. I understand that you have tight deadlines, and I'm happy to work within both your timeframe and your budget. Plus, you know exactly whom you're hiring.
